unable to time?? HELP!!
#6
How has the car been running?
If there's nothing wrong with the way it's running, then I would think there's something wrong with the way you're checking the timing.
#1: Start engine.
#2: Jump 10-GND in the diagnostics box.
#3: Set idle to 850rpm via idle adjust screw.
#4: Connect Inductive timing light, Ground/12vlt/#1plugwire
#5: Aim light at pulley, pull trigger.
#6: Loosen CAS bolt and rotate until timing mark is in correct place.
#7: Tighten CAS bolt, disconnect Timing Light, remove 10-GND jumper... done.
Double-Check that you're actually jumping 10-GND and haven't put your paper clip in the wrong port.

yes its a 92, i did timing the exact same way last time and followed the listed steps by samnavy (found them on miata.net garage), maked the notch with some red fingernail pollish to help point it out (unfortunately didn't point anywhere near the markers). i originally did the retard when i put in the greddy kit, but now i'm trying to use my emanage so i want to put it back to about 10 degrees. for today, i played with by ear and think i heard pinging about 6000 wot.

the emb was all zero timing when i first started to time the car, but when i couldn't time it properly, i tried doing the 'by the ear' timing method, so i uploaded a timing map to try to play it somewhat safe. my main fear of the timing problem is that when i test drove it, it seems to lose all pull at 5k rpm, but still shows 8 psi, so before i start playing with more fuel i want to make sure my timing is ok. also, being my first time to play with the emanage doesn't make it easier at all.
